Pic story of visually-impaired NPC deputy
When the second session of the 14th NPC lifted its curtain at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Tuesday, Wang Yongcheng was presented with a special government work report -- a version in Braille, which is a historic first for the country's top legislature.
"It is a tangible experience of democracy," Wang said in an excited tone as his fingertips traced the raised dots.
Among the nearly 3,000 deputies to the 14th NPC who commenced their five-year term in 2023, Wang stands out as the sole individual with visual impairment.
